Hi all just wondering can 6mm longer points make a big difference to how a dart throws? I ask because I tried a friends darts for half an hour with new longer points fitted but they were 3 grams lighter than I use, problem is they flew lovely so I've bought the same darts and the longer points, I've not had the points fitted yet but the darts came yesterday and I just can't throw them with the normal points?

Fit them and try. everybody says a different experience

All other things being equal, longer points should cause the darts to land flatter.
Long points make grouping easier. At some point, it becomes a gimmick though.

Since buying a repointer I have been able to try things, in my experience the difference in a 32mm vs 38mm point (I believe these are reasonably standard sized) is minimal. My Chizzies had very short points, the Target Grip points I fitted were a good cm longer. No change in flight characteristic, at least not noticeable.
